Straw insists on e-mail interception powers
Oh dear - new UK crypto proposals. Here's the latest spin: let's say I'm a trusted third party (key holder) holding your crypto keys. The govt could force me to decrypt your communications, and if I told you that I'd done it, sentence me to 2 years gaol. http://www.newsunlimited.co.uk/politics/story/0,3604,67849,00.html

Couple of interesting stories in this week's Schnews http://www.schnews.org.uk/ -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: SchNEWS 221, Friday 23rd July 1999 Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 13:09:44 +0100 (BST) From: "SchNEWS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is SchNEWS, the weekly direct action newsletter published by Justice? in Brighton, England.

[snipped] It may have passed you by, but in 1993 the (non-psychoactive) cultivation of cannabis was legalised. Eventually hemp could well replace cotton, coal and cattle in terms of providing our fibre, fuel and protein needs. It is not only eco-friendly, requiring neither pesticides or fertilisers, but is also three times as strong as cotton, burns hotter than coal if compressed and is arguably the most nutritious foodstuff in the plant kingdom. Web: http://www.thehempcorp.demon.co.uk/ AND FINALLY Computers 2, People 0 In what seems like a sinister robot plot to throw humans into chaos, faulty computer systems in drinks machines are inundating Australian emergency services with bogus distress calls. Thousands of Sydney vending machines, programmed to call distributors when they run out of sodas, are calling the emergency services 000 number instead! Hundreds of the calls were made to fire, police and ambulance services by the glorified refrigerators, blocking real emergency calls. Perhaps the poor things are lonely, missing their human stock-checkers. A spokeswoman for the 000 service said the problem is getting worse and spreading to other electronic devices! Meanwhile, Toronto had a scary foretaste of millenium plague last week when a small circuit box fire managed to wipe out 170,000 phone lines, most cell phones and cash points. Systems also crashed at the stock exchange, doctors' pagers and much internet and e-mail. Financial traders could only operate by (horror!) talking to each other face-to-face in the street. Building security systems collapsed, including banks, though this was not made public until later to avoid spontaneous outbursts of wealth redistribution.

I see the BBC are conducting a poll to find a generic term for web users. Something like the word 'viewer' is to TV.

Re: Debt free money
It blew my mind actually. You know that I despair somewhat of politics and politicians... this actually presented a concept that I *would* get politically active about... if I could find a group to join... It was a good book that explained a few things that my A-level economics teacher couldn't quite grasp... martian On Fri, 23 Jul 1999, Magna wrote: > What did you think of the book Martian? > > - Original Message - > From: martian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, July 23, 1999 11:29 AM > Subject: Debt free money > > > > > > I read a book recently called "The Grip of Death" (which is the literal > > translation of the word 'mortgage') > > > http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1897766408/qid=932722242/sr=1-1/026 > -4563006-3420809 > > > > It expounds a system of debt-free money.

Debt free money
I read a book recently called "The Grip of Death" (which is the literal translation of the word 'mortgage') http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1897766408/qid=932722242/sr=1-1/026-4563006-3420809 It expounds a system of debt-free money. At the moment, only banks can create money, and then ONLY as a response to a debt. A debt-free money system would give power to create money to the government, and take it away from the banks. Here's a good practical explanation of the details: http://www.uhuh.com/unreal/dfms.htm

I suspect the technical support lines for both the internet connection and the machine itself are premium numbers... handy for the complete novices these machines are targeted at.

I guess they're hoping to recoup the cost on the interconnect fees - if everyone spent 25-30 quid a month on phone calls I reckon they might break even on the retail price of the PC (assuming they get half of the total cost of the call).
